Marinette

Anna Elizabeth Barclay Carter is a sister of Alexander Barclay and his heir. Anna was born on the 15 of April, 1870 in Eagle Creek. She is present in the Federal and state census of 1870, 1875, 1880, 1885. She is also the youngest child of John Barclay and his second wife Ellen. It is possible that her middle name is Ellen, not Elizabeth per a cousin 11/26/2017.

She married David Maurice Carter on 9 July, 1885 in Scott Co., Minnesota.

Anna and David Carter lived in an area of Wisconsin which is right on the border of Michigan so you might see to two towns intertwined in the records of people who lived in this area. These towns are on the shores of Lake Michigan and protected by Green Bay Harbor. I have seen Lake Michigan but only from its very southern tip. It is more like an ocean.

Be advised that I am not an expert on the Carter family which looks like it has very interesting history being of French Canadian origins. There are cousins who know more and what I present here is just a summary so if you want to obtain further information leave a comment and I can contact you to chat. I am also basing this information on what the census is revealing and cemetery information, more needs to be done.

In 1900 Anna and David Carter appear in the Marinette, Marinette Co., Wisconsin census. It looks like a brother is nearby?

Anna and David Carter had 13 children of which 9 were living in 1900. I only have 12 children. The following should be followed out in the census to get a better picture of their lives and of course, more research to get a better picture.

The children of Anna and David have corrections added to them in order to update the information as of 11/26/2017.

I have had the honor of meeting descendants of Anna’s in the past. They have been kind in sharing about their family history. I therefore have presented here my study of this family which needs more work of course. If you would like to share or learn more leave a comment.

UPDATE: As of September 29, 2017 I have heard from Jim Carter a descendant of Anna Barclay Carter and David Carter. He has shared with me his “Ancestral Meanderings: A brief assemblage of narrative and photographs of the Carter/Barclay, Mantich/Haljcsik and Martin/Riedel lineages. A PDF of his family history. Contact me at bjmcdonell@gmail.com and I will be happy to get you in contact with him. He has more information on the children of this couple. He has also helped me to get a better handle on the children of Anna Barclay Carter and David Carter. I am grateful.

Things to Ponder

Leola May Blinn may be the daughter of Sarah A. Blinn a sister of George and Alexander. I have added new information as of 6/10/2016 to the post about another of Alexander's siblings. Just put Leola into the search engine and you should find the information.
